“I am only 8 years old, I told myself. No little boy of 8 has ever murdered anyone. It's not possible.”
“On my first day of kindergarten:"You thought it was hard? If kindergarten is busting your ass, I got some bad news for you about the rest of life.”

“Hasn’t anyone ever told you? Life isn’t fair.”
“What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died?”
